Retrieving tweets and displaying them on web

Question

var Twit = require('twit');
var client = new Twit({
consumer_key: 'xxx',
consumer_secret: 'xxx',
access_token: 'xxx',
access_token_secret: 'xxx'
});

client.get('search/tweets', { q: 'screenName' since:2011-11-11', count: 100 },
        function(err, data, response) {
            for (var indx in data.statuses) {
                var tweet= data.statuses[indx];
                console.log('on: ' + tweet.created_at + ' : @' + tweet.user.screen_name + ' : ' + tweet.text+'\n\n');
            }

        })

I have the code above to display tweets according to "screenName" to console, but I want to display them on an HTML page. How do I do that? Will I have to use JQuery?Can someone explain in detail?

Your help will be appreciated!

use `response.send(data)` to send data to view and then use the same for loop(in ur code) to print it where ever you want on webpage. — Neil, Mar 22 '16 at 04:58

First 'response.send(data)' to send data to the templating engine and then you don't have to use jQuery to display at HTML simply. You can do this by

client.get('search/tweets', { q: 'screenName' since:2011-11-11', count: 100 },
    function(err, data, response) {
        for (var indx in data.statuses) {
            var tweet= data.statuses[indx];
            console.log('on: ' + tweet.created_at + ' : @' + tweet.user.screen_name + ' : ' + tweet.text+'\n\n');
            response.send(data);
        }

    })

then in your template JavaScript simply write

            //after received data in request
            for (var indx in res.data.statuses) {
                var tweet= data.statuses[indx];
                document.write('on: ' + tweet.created_at + ' : @' + tweet.user.screen_name + ' : ' + tweet.text+'\n\n');
            }

Hope it helps.
